Last Night's Party: Ryan McGinley, Famke Janssen and More Toast Persol's 'Magnificent Obsessions'

If Persol had one goal in mind for Magnificent Obsessions, an exhibition to to commemorate the Italian eyewear magnate’s longstanding relationship with painstakingly- crafted film, it was go big or go home. This was evident from the get-go when ascending to Centre 548’s 4th floor in a Warholian-era industrial lift for the exhibit's opening celebration. A set of double doors opened to reveal a gallery space filled with cinematic memorabilia and a crowd that was half celebrity, half society. Curated by the celebrated Michael Connor, the exhibit is the initial offering in a series three installments and is open to the public starting today through Sunday in West Chelsea. There you’ll find footage of The Darjeeling Limited’s Adrien Brody racing through train cars in custom frames, Oscar-winning costumes from Marie Antoinette, and perhaps most prolific—scenes from Ghandi with its transformative star and honoree, Ben Kingsley offering exclusive commentary. “I think its great to join in a collection of personal creation,” he said of the exhibit.

Street Style: Ryan McGinley Muse Brandee Brown Lives By the Motto 'Who Gives a F***? I'm young!'

Name: Brandee Brown Age: 20 Occupation: Filmmaker, actress and some of my friends say I'm a muse to photographers. I work with Ryan McGinley [Ed. note: She's the one with a kitten in her mouth] What is something funny that you've learned or heard since working with Ryan? Well, he's a vegetarian and I'm a meat lover so, we used to butt heads in that sense. I always get sad when I have to eat all the salads and tofu that he orders, but now he says 'Let Brandee get whatever she wants.' We also call each other Boo Boo. We're each others' Boo Boo's. I love him, he's such a great guy. Whats your motto? 'Who gives a fuck? I'm young!' and 'You only live once.'

Agnès b. Celebrates Art and Clothes in SoHo

Of all the men’s shows in Paris this past January, I walked away from Agnès b. with the biggest smile on my face: so much fun, so colorful, dynamic and trippy (“A la bastille” meets downtown bad boys). Knowing this, I couldn’t be happier to hear of the new Agnes b. store opening at 50 Howard St. in SoHo. Keeping up with her label’s themes, the shop has a massive proportion of space dedicated to artwork, and the scene is nearly as much gallery as it is boutique.
